The THROAT LOCUST is a heavy distortion pedal based on the legendary, out of production HM2 Heavy Metal. This pedal expands on the tone possibilities of the original circuit while preserving the gnarly character of the distortion.

A brief overview of the controls:

DIST : Intensity of distortion. Turn cw for more distortion. The stock control is linear taper but an audio taper potentiometer can be substituted by request for more variation of lower gain settings.

LEVEL : Final output volume. Adjust to taste. Note that Mode B is much louder than Mode A.

A / B SWITCH : Mode A is standard silicon clipping diodes for a saturated rich distortion. Mode B is a mix of silicon and LED clipping for tighter lows, less saturation and more output volume.
